Adding Dissimilar Fractions Without Regrouping

This document discusses how to add fractions with different denominators, known as dissimilar or unlike fractions. It provides the following steps: 1. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions, which is the smallest number that is a multiple of both denominators. 2. Convert the fractions to equivalent fractions that have the LCD as their common denominator. This involves multiplying the numerators and denominators by the same number. 3. Add the newly equivalent fractions by adding the numerators and keeping the common denominator. The document provides examples of finding the LCD and using it to convert fractions to equivalent forms with a common denominator in order to add them together.
